most desirable land in the San Gabriel
Valley to wealthy syndicate who in.

favored dwelling and business places
under these favored skies. The gentle
men in the deal have organized and will

Water Company, the officers Of which

Dennis, Vice. President; K. P. johnson,
Treasurer; A. L. Burbank. Secretary
and f. l.. Raymond, Superintendent
and Manager. The following staunch
men compose the Board of Directors: III.
H. Markham, L. w. Dennis, c. II.
Bradley, F. L. Raymond and N. Van
derslip. These gentleman are SO well
known in Los Angeles that any comment
upon their ability and standing is out OF
place. They are brainy and progressive
men and when they put their combined
efforts in the enterprise which they have
undertaken there is no such word as fail
and those who are judicious enough to
to follow in their scheme and footsteps
are sure to be greatly benefited. The
property purchased was formerly owne d
by Messrs. Ford, Titus. Gibbs, Ames
and Bradbury and is more recently and
familiarly known as the Hall 4 Stillson
Tract. Part of the property has been
divide d into business. residence, lots and
also many fine acre villa lots. East San
Gabriel, the new town, is located in the
most desirable part of the valley, about
ten miles from the Los Angeles City
Plaza, and on the line of the Southern
Pacific Railroad. Among the immense
improvements contemplated by the COM
pany are the laying of the San Gabriel
Boulevard. about four miles long running
north and south, connecting Lamanda
Park with Ell Monte Road. Two other
fine avenues, crossing the San Gabriel
Boulevard, at right angles, known as
Broadway and Grand Central; building
street car line and hotel; piping water
from the Titus place, which affords an
inexhaustible supply. In connection
with other improvements, the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company have already
given orders to build one of the finest
depots in Southern California, ware
houses, freight depots, etc.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.
Rosume of Business Transacted
last Evening.

The CITY Board of Education met las
might. President Kurz in the Chair ant
Mrs. A. s. Averill, Mr.. F. s. Graham,
Mr.. G. N. Esrl and superintendent W.
M. Fresner present.
Several applications for positions In
the department were received and placed
on file.
The following were elected teachers
in the department: Miss Francis h.
Harrow, Miss Ida Mccormick, H. f.
Sallee, Mrs. Marion E. Blake and
George Varooe.
Mrs, Averill introduced the following
resolution, which was adopted
TO the Honorable Board of Education
of the County of Los Angeles.
WHEREAS. In the examinations re-
Gently held by your body only one ap.
plicant out of sixty was permitted to 90
on in the effort to secure first-grade
certificate, and this result repeats quite
largely that of several previous examin-
ations. And,
WHEREAS, We believe many expert
enced and excellent teachers, whose
testimonials from competent authority
in our sister States are of the best, are
thus prevented from giving us the bene-
fit Of their work, we, the men,
bers of the Beard of Education of
the city Of Los Angeles, respectfully
ask your honorable body to so modify
J our list of questions as to make the
results OF the examinations turn more
upon the ability of the applicants to
discuss intelligently the theory and
practice of teaching, and to present
methods which recommend themselves,
as more judicious, than upon the solu
tion of complicated questions in arith-
metic which has but little practical
bearing upon the usefulness and success
Of a teacher.
(Signed by all the members of the
Board.)
The following is sample of the
questions asked at the examinations:
Five telegraph poles are s in. square at
he base. 4 in. square at the top, 30 #.
ong, and placed 100 yards apart, what
will be the cost per mile for poles, at
$50 per M. board measurement"
Mr.. Graham moved that hereafter all
applications for positions as teachers
hall be presented to the Secretary OF
he Board, who shall present and read
,he same at the next regular meeting
oliowing, after which these applica-
ions shall take their usual course.

The Board then adjourned.

s25OU a Foot on spring and First
Declined.


Declined.
DIR. E. T. Barber, of Oakland, has
been here for several days trying to buy
an eligible lot in the heart OF the city
for the New Zealand Insurance Com.
pany, Mr.. Hugh Craig, manager. He
was armed with full authority to buy a
yery central business piece, and it was
left to his judgment to pay what he
thought it was worth. He fixed his
mind upon the Wilson property. at the
southeast corner Of Spring aud First.
The lot has a frontage Of l20 feet s
inches on Spring by rs feet on First.
On the 2nd instant he had an inter-
view with Mrs. Wilson, rhe owner,
aud was told that she was not desir.
GUS of selling; but she admitted that
there might be a limit at which her
resolution would be shaken. He first
offered her $4,000 foot for 60 feet front
on Spring, including the corner. This
she declined. He then offered her sue.
cessively $1,000. $2l00. $1,000. $4,000,
S24OO and $500 per foot for the entire
100 S feet frontage. At the last figure
she exhibited signs Of weakening, and
said she would take the offer under ad'
yisement. Yesterday che returned her
written answer to DR.. Barber, declining
to sell at that figure. The amount
in cash thus offered for l2O. SA7S is
s3Ol ,666 81, very large::sum of money.
one would think. But, when we con-
slider that this corner is in the very
business heart of the city, and the best
site to be found for such building as
the New Zealand Insurance Company
wanted to erect, it is not out of the
way. It is something less per foot than
was offered for the Bancroft lot on Mar
ket street, San Francisco, whilst it is
far better situated than that lot in O
business point of view. DR.. Barber in
forms us that the Company would have
put up a five story brick and granite
business building if Mrs. Wilson had
concluded to sell. 1t transpired, during
the negotiations, that Mrs. Wilson. her
self is making arrangements to erect
a fine structure on the lot in keeping
with the edifice she has already ere eetec
on First street. and adjoining it. This
when finished, will make valuable
architectural Improvement.

sWith a Chair.
The usual quietude that reigns su-
preme 10 the town of Orange was dis
turbed on Wednesday night by loud
screams for help that came from the
home of August Trodlenburg. Neigh
bors broke into the house and found the
master of the establishment engaged in
an attempt to beat out the brains of the
entire family with q chair. He was
ouieted after considerable trouble, and
the neighbors withdrew. They had no
sooner retired that they were again
called out by the samo pitiable cries
for assistance. Trodlenburg was
found endeavoring to enter the
house with Ratchet, and If it had not
been for the timely appearance OF help
there is no question but that the enraged
man would nave slaughtered the occu.
pants of the house. He was arrested by
one of the constables and taken to Santa

and was safely lodged in the county
iail 1t is the impression OF all that the
unfortunate man is out of his head, and
he will be examined by a commission OF

NEW YORK, July THE .tock market 10
day showed the effects of the apathy amohs
the operators, being feverish and unse''iea

of room trades, and about one-half oil the
total business was contributed by four or
five stocks. Western Union was anec'eu oy

Baltimore and Ohio deal. but there was
dearth of news to effect the values ana

Herbert Williams is home from the

The young folks have been trying tC
arrange a dance in the s~chookhouse five
miles east, but the school board, in
strict obedience to the law, promptly

materially injure a school building, yet
we don't know but what the officers are
perfectly justified in applying the law
from the word go" What's the use of
having laws if we do not live up to
them?
1t was our good fortune to be present
at the lyceum in the Matthew district on
Thursday evening of last week snd
were most highly entertained in both
the debating and literary exercises.
The entire proceedings were character
lied with that spirit of order and harm
%onIOusneEs which reflects credit upon
the promoters. The question under
discussion was, Resolved, that art is
more beautiful than nature" with L. N.

negative as leaders. Both sides pro
duced able arguments in support of
their claims, but the judges, MeSsrs.
Matthew, Evans and Humphrey, pro-
claimed victory TO the side of the neg

the following program was presented:
Music, by the band.
Song, "McAffee's confession" by Geo.
Hallett.
Song, Stop drinking tonight" by j.
VIM. Smith.
Toast by Mark Twain, at u reception
given to Gen. Grant, on Babies" by

We were especially impressed with
the literary talent displayed in the rem.
dition of the above program and that OF
the children is particularly commend
able. The society thus far has been the
source of a great deal of pleasure as
well as culture OF mind during the long
winter evenings and il Is extremely un-
fortunate that there are not mIny more
like organizations throughout the
